Mitsubishi is an interesting company. Cars, industrial size generators, erasers and now I see pitch black pencil. Their Boxy eraser is amazing. Hard to get no

  The Mitsubishi that makes stationery (Mitsubishi Pencil Company) is completely unrelated to Mitsubishi Group, they just happen to share a name.

    ...and also the same logo. Go figure. :-)

      Everything I see has a "uni" wordmark for the pencil company. However, AIUI mitsubishi more or less means "three rhombi" -- the companies are both named after the same family crest.

        I felt like kind of a numbskull when I made the observation that "Asahi" must be a similarly diversified company (Asahi Pentax cameras, Asahi beer) and was informed that "Asahi" means morning or rising sun by some patient soul. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asahi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asahi

          It happens everywhere: Ford's Theater (Washington DC) is not related to the Ford Theater (Utah); similarly unrelated to Ford Motor Company, Ford Instrument Company, or Ford Meter Box Company.

            Although interestingly, Kingsford charcoal is related to the Ford motor company.

  They also make the mitsubishi k-18 pencil sharpener. https://www.leadfast.org/blog/2017/2/20/mitsubishi-uni-kh-20-long-point-sharpener-review https://www.leadfast.org/blog/2017/2/20/mitsubishi-uni-kh-20...

    These are the best sharpeners for the price and then some.

  > Their Boxy eraser is amazing...Anyone know of a better one? Erasers continue to improve. One of the newer foam erasers, such as from Sakura, will probably perform better. There are many informative customer reviews at JetPens.
